Abstract: Thin cylindrical shells used in engineering applications are often susceptible to failure by elastic buckling. Most experimental and theoretical research on shell buckling relates only to simple ...

Abstract: During the last two decades, many attempts have been made to develop computational models to represent the behavior of particulate solids in silos. Two methods have been used most commonly: the finite element method and ...

Abstract: Two main computational methods have been used in recent years to model the behavior of particulate solids in silos. These are the finite element method and the discrete element method. To assess the current state of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents part of a rigorous numerical study of the geometry changes in cylindrical shells due to localized fabrication misfit and the associated consistent residual stress field. The search for practically useful ...
